"I Don’t Know is a song I wrote, about asking myself, “what if it all doesn’t work out?”  As an artist, who has truly tried to commit my life to many different genres of music, in today’s landscape of going viral and fitting in, it personally feels like it’s never been harder to remain authentic, and this song, is just me, trying to remain present, and ponder the question," Gates tells All Country News. "There isn’t a doubt in my mind that it will all work out, however it’s supposed to, but every now and then, the voice in my head asks the question haha, and my response to that, is this song. I wrote it by myself and it’s produced by the very talented Tim Bruns."
